Homework expectations

A students' homework is his or her opportunity to learn or review content skills outside of the regular school day. "Practice is the act of repeating a specific skill or reviewing small amounts of information to increase recall, speed, and accuracy. This strategy refers to the need for students to devote time to reviewing what they have learned so that it becomes immediately accessible for cognitive use."* Your student should be prepared to spend approximately 45 minutes each night on homework.

A typical night may include:

25 minutes of reading time

1 Spelling assignment (journal page, practicing words, sentences)

1 Math Assignment

Math Fact Practice or Xtramath

Classroom Blog Participation (2 per week)
